Venue: Unknown<br /><br /><p>Join us at the Central APA in Denver for a unique opportunity! For the first time, the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women is an affiliated group of the APA and is hosting its first APA session. This session will bring the philosophical arguments and themes of early modern women (especially on political theory and practice, theories of justice, oppression, normative theories, and philosophy of action) in conversation with those of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.</p>
<p>The content of the joint session is broadly construed, but with an eye toward contributions that draw from, or are indebted to, the work of early modern women and Dr. King. Differences and similarities will be discussed in view of historical and contemporary lenses. Contributions that integrate current political realities are especially encouraged.</p>

Publication Name: Simone de Beauvoir Studies (SdBS)<br /><br /><p>Call for Papers - Special Issue</p>
<p>&ldquo;Beauvoir in Conversation&rdquo;</p>
<p>Vol. 30, Issue 2</p>
<p><em>Simone de Beauvoir Studies</em> is currently accepting submissions for a special issue to appear in fall 2019 oriented around the theme &ldquo;Beauvoir in Conversation.&rdquo; There are at least three relevant senses of <em>conversation</em> at play in the essays featured in this special issue. First, it implicates engagement with those thinkers who were Beauvoir&rsquo;s interlocutors in life or on the page, as well as those conversations that are waiting to happen with thinkers whose ideas and writings speak to Beauvoir&rsquo;s in some regard. Second, the word invites new disciplinary and interdisciplinary engagements with Beauvoir&rsquo;s oeuvre, including those that place her ideas in relation to fields such as anthropology, geography, religion, critical race theory, and transgender studies. Third, &ldquo;Beauvoir in Conversation&rdquo; explores how Beauvoir is <em>talked about</em>&frac34;how her texts and ideas have been received historically, how her sex has influenced how she is heard, and the extent to which her influence extends into popular culture, art, and the spirit of people today. </p>
<p><em>Simone de Beauvoir Studies </em>(SdBS<em>) </em>is published by Brill on behalf of the International Simone de Beauvoir Society, and is housed in the Humanities &amp; Arts Department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute under the direction of Professor Jennifer McWeeny. Articles are published in English or French. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, but to guarantee consideration for publication in this special issue (Vol. 30, Issue 2) submissions must be received <strong>by March 1, 2019.</strong> To submit an article, please refer to Instructions for Authors and additional information found on the journal&rsquo;s website: <a href="http://www.brill.com/sdbs">www.brill.com/sdbs</a>. </p>https://philevents.org/event/show/67738[ March 1, 2019] CFP for publication or other deadline: nullhttps://philevents.org/event/show/69770

<p>While the contemporary world roils from accelerated inequality across diverse sectors of the global population; technological advancement and complexification; proliferating &lsquo;connectedness&rsquo;; network, information, and media sinkholes within which the distinction between fact and value is increasingly void&mdash;and all this in the midst of great political absurdity&mdash;disenchantment, in all its Janus-faced nuance, is again critical to be thought today.</p>
<p>We in the 21st century must confront whether the problem of disenchantment is something that needs to be championed still further, opening unto frontiers still unthought of the &lsquo;scientific image&rsquo; and the promise it holds, or whether it is our historical, material situation&mdash;and the knowledge that is its reflection&mdash;that have precipitated this disenchantment, its loss of world in the immediate and visceral experience of those who undergo it: the loss of the historically accumulated conditions favourable to human sociality in lieu of increasing technological mediation, the loss of the value-laden terms of the &lsquo;manifest image&rsquo; by which humans had hitherto understood themselves&hellip;</p>
<p>On the one hand, there those like the Prometheans, the Left Accelerationists, Xenofeminists, the #AltWoke, and others who would offer a plea in favour of the practical and speculative gains which a neo-rationalism may offer up to philosophy, scientific discovery, political praxis, and everyday existence. In this case, the disenchantment of the world is not only a view of the true world, but a view of a world capable of radically emancipatory, utopian ends. On the other hand, we cannot forget&mdash;in light of Adorno, Foucault, Said, etc., and following the atrocities of the modern past&mdash;that disenchanted rationality, as it was historically constituted, is in no small way bound up with the emergence of mechanisms of exploitation endemic to capitalism, colonization, biopolitics, the emergence of fascism and totalitarianism, and that it has historically entertained, within itself, a catastrophic dialectic with that which it excludes from its own identity. In understanding the relation between these two positions, we ask whether an ultimatum is truly demanded, or whether a non-dialectical synthesis regarding disenchantment is possible today.</p>
<p>Some issues to be raised may be:</p>
<ul>
<li>What is at stake in the manifest image? The scientific image?
<ul>
<li>What is the value of science?</li>
<li>What role does art play in the disenchanted world?</li>

</ul>
</li>
<li>What is to be done with disenchantment in the face of political, community, and existential apathy?
<ul>
<li>How can the sense of the future be re-enchanted? Or, if it does not need re-enchantment, what is the meaning of value in a disenchanted world?</li>
<li>Badiou and truth.</li>
<li>Critical appraisals of anxiety and depression.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>What does disenchantment represent to marginalized communities?
<ul>
<li>What does it mean for decolonial/settler-colonial struggles?</li>
<li>What relationship does it play in the understanding of one&rsquo;s history, in relation to pre-colonial forms of life? How do colonialism and disenchantment mark that history, or cast a shadow upon the idea of origin and return?</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>What does disenchantment mean for anthropology as the study of culture or of forms of life?
<ul>
<li>What is the legacy of &lsquo;disinterested&rsquo; or &lsquo;objective&rsquo; appraisals of the cultures of the other?</li>
<li>What kinds of relationship should the future of anthropology orient itself toward?</li>

Venue: 975 S Myrtle Ave<br /><br /><p>Philosophy of Religion unit of welcomes papers broadly focused on the theme of the relationship between religion and the human subject. Recent arguments in philosophy increasingly suggest that every conscious experience involves a &ldquo;minimal&rdquo; sense of self. Understanding selfhood and personal identity has been of main importance to religious traditions, both theologically and in concern for the actual human condition. What are the distinctions and similarities between the two approaches to the self? Is the self &ldquo;self-given,&rdquo; that is, reveals its nature by the simple fact of its presence, or is it constituted by cultural, social, historical intersubjectivity? We call for critical cross-examination of doxastic and evidence-based, philosophical and theological, religious and secularistic perspectives on the self.</p>
<p>The AARWR meeting theme &ldquo;Religion and Resistance&rdquo; also inspires us to ask: What are the dangers to the self, and what kinds of resistance(s) emancipate(s) the human spirit in the current discourse? Defining and describing religious perspectives on selfhood, we welcome both analytic and phenomenological (continental philosophical) inquiries into the status of the self, religious emancipation, violence, moral deliberation, self-transcendence, and the social practices of resistance, as conditions of possibility and necessity of the self&rsquo;s homelike being in the world.</p>
<p>In light of these overarching interests, tentatively and dependent on the contents and number of submissions, we aim at putting together two panels. In the first panel, we would like to answer the questions of foundational ontology of the self, such as, but not limited to, what comprises the essence of selfhood? &nbsp;What philosophically identified parameters (e.g. self-luminosity, self-reflectivity, &ldquo;what it&rsquo;s like to have the self,&rdquo; etc.) apply to religious understanding of the self, and vice versa? On what level, and how, can the self be &ldquo;divided&rdquo; or &ldquo;split&rdquo;, co-opted or healed? What is the role of intersubectivity and the world in self-revelation of the self? &nbsp;In the second panel, we would like to weave the foundational understandings of the self into examinations of its practices, with a particular emphasis on contrasting views concerning the place of resistance in interpersonal and social self-experience. The divergences of accounts of what the self consists of and how it relates to experience of a shared world foster dialogue between the various positions, identifications and clarifications of the points of disagreement, and assessing the relative plausibility of conflicting claims about the nature of the self. Considering the breadth of our central thesis, we also invite papers on the themes not specifically outlined in this call: if you think these contribute to understanding of the relationship between religion and the self, in context of resistance, please send your submission to Dane Sawyer (<a href="mailto:dsawyer@laverne.edu">dsawyer@laverne.edu</a>) and Olga Louchakova-Schwartz (<a href="mailto:olouchakova@gmail.com">olouchakova@gmail.com</a>).</p>https://philevents.org/event/show/65130[ March 7, 2019 - March 10, 2019] Conference or similar: The Faces of Depression in Literaturehttps://philevents.org/event/show/64258

Venue: Via Is Mirrionis 1<br /><br /><p>University of Cagliari (IT) is delighted to announce that the conference Comparing Philosophical Traditions: Selfhood, Historicity and Representation between Hermeneutics and Pragmatism will be held on 14th, 15th and 16th March 2019 at the Department of Pedagogy, Psychology andPhilosophy, Cagliari (IT). The conference is part of the activities of the Interuniversity Research Center on Pragmatism, Construction of Knowledge and Education (http://host.uniroma3.it/centri/pcf/) and Pragma Cultural Association (<a href="http://www.associazionepragma.com">www.associazionepragma.com</a>), anditis supported by the Foundation of Sardinia / The Region Sardinia (National Research Programme on &lsquo;Science and its Logic: The Representation Dilemma&rsquo;, FdS/RAS 2016).</p>
<p>The function of representation, which plays a bridge role between factual dimension and interpretative construction of the past in historical knowledge, is a theme of particular interest within socio-anthropological and philosophical fields concerning individual and collective identity. This is an interdisciplinary domain thatat a different level concerns researches related to the theory and practice of make history, the interpretation of historical facts and studies in the philosophy of human action.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Representation comes into play even around the subjective and inter-subjective dynamics related to the processes of auto-reflection and personal realization, as well as in relation with all processes of social interaction, communication and knowledge (of the others and the world). It exercises a specific function in the cultural, social and scientific construction and sharing of knowledge and values.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
<p>The conference aims to bring to dialectical confrontation two distinguished traditions of thought, pragmatism and hermeneutics, with the leading aim of deepening and critically addressing the various aspects implicated in the field of historical knowledge and philosophical anthropology. Contributors can consider both the 'theoretical' and 'practical' side, with the aim of identifying elements of proximity, critical aspects and potential new developments.</p>

Venue: Unknown<br /><br /><p>The <em>Kant-Readings</em> International Conference has taken place in Kaliningrad every five years since 1974. This 2019 conference aims at investigating the ethical conceptions of the Enlightenment from the perspective of Kant&rsquo;s philosophy. Enlightenment ethics focused on traditionally important notions for human beings, such as happiness and moral goodness, and influenced not only their epoch but the following centuries until today. In spite of the fact that all these doctrines were founded on different moral concepts like moral sense, reason, or God, they equally searched for a justification of <em>duty</em> and of the possibility of moral motivation. Moreover they raised the question of the relation between morality and politics, education, and coercion. What, if any, are the common features that characterise ethical doctrines during the Enlightenment? Are there sufficiently similar features in the various ethical doctrines of Kant&rsquo;s day that would warrant the title of &lsquo;Enlightenment ethics&rsquo;? It is not less important to understand the ethical content and significance of the Enlightenment project itself and to answer the question of whether the project of enlightenment still can be rationally defended.</p>
<p>Kant&rsquo;s ethics directly relates to the various conceptions of enlightenment put forward by his immediate predecessors in Germany, Great Britain, and France, such as Wolff, Rousseau, Shaftesbury, Hutcheson, Hume, and others. We are interested in understanding the moral aims of the Enlightenment, and the role of Kant&rsquo;s philosophy in how the enlightenment project extends beyond its initial epoch. How has Kant&rsquo;s moral philosophy been received and criticised, and how has it influenced the evolution of enlightenment thought in other countries, especially in Russia? To what extent can Kant&rsquo;s philosophy be fruitful for thinking about ethics and enlightenment in our time?What can Kantian philosophy offer to address the current and prospective challenges, produced by technological advancement?</p>
<p>The conference will be structured into the following sections:</p>
<p>1. History of Enlightenment Ethics</p>
<p>2. Enlightenment and Kantian Ethics in Russian Thought</p>
<p>3. Enlightenment Ethics and Aesthetics in Correlation</p>
<p><a name="__DdeLink__79_2136671715"></a> 4. Kant&rsquo;s Ethics in Neo-Kantianism</p>
<p>5. Enlightenment, Politics, and Education</p>
<p>6. Science, Technology, and Enlightenment Ethics</p>
<p>7. Kant and Radical Enlightenment (section organized by <em>The Contemporary Kantian Philosophy Project</em>,directed by Robert Hanna)</p>
<p>Hanna writes: By &ldquo;radical enlightenment,&rdquo; we mean any epistemic, metaphysical, metaphilosophical, aesthetic, scientific, moral, social, or political interpretation of Kant&rsquo;s injunction to &ldquo;dare to know,&rdquo; or &ldquo;dare to think for oneself&rdquo; (<em>Sapere aude!</em>), that is <em>more </em>progressive &mdash; or &ldquo;further left&rdquo; &mdash; than classical Hobbesian or Millian liberalism, or contemporary neoliberalism. The theme of this section comprehends any topic in Kant&rsquo;s or Kantian philosophy that explores its positive or negative relationship to radical enlightenment in this sense, with a special interest in exploring the implications and/or significance of that topic for contemporary issues.</p>

Venue: 320 E 9th St, Charlotte, NC 28202<br /><br /><p>We are very happy to announce that the focus of the 2019 Feminist Decolonial Politics Workshop is Dr. Audra Simpson.</p>
<p>Dr. Simpson is Professor of Anthropology at Columbia University in New York. She is the author of&nbsp;<em>Mohawk Interruptus: Political Life Across the Borders of Settler States</em>&nbsp;(Duke University Press, 2014). She describes her research as &ldquo;energized by the problem of recognition, by its passage beyond (and below) the aegis of the state into the grounded field of political self-designation, self-description and subjectivity. [Her] work is motivated by the struggle of Kahnawake Mohawks to find the proper way to afford political recognition to each other, their struggle to do this in different places and spaces and the challenges of formulating membership against a history of colonial impositions.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The workshop seeks to create a space for junior scholars and graduate students to engage in rigorous discussions of seldom read figures in feminist decolonial theory. This 4-day intensive workshop provides an opportunity to enrich participants&rsquo; research and pedagogy through sustained engagement with the work of a given author. In the past, we have read the works of Saidiya Hartman, Sara Ahmed, Trinh T. Minh-ha, and Sylvia Wynter.</p>
<p>Applications are due&nbsp;February&nbsp;1st, 2019&nbsp;and should include (a) a CV, and (b) a statement of interest. Travel funding is available on a first come, first serve, basis. To be considered for the travel grant, submit (a) a statement of need, and (b) a travel budget. Late applications will not be considered for the travel grant.&nbsp;</p>
<br>
The workshop will take place over 4 days in the month of May:&nbsp;Tuesday, May 14th &ndash; Friday, May 17th&nbsp;2019&nbsp;at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>

<p>technology and its rapid change are continually powering configurations and reconfiguration of social relations;&nbsp;</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>technology affects the balance of economic, informational, and other kinds of power among individuals, corporations, and governments; and&nbsp;</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>technology can reinforce, disguise, undermine, or reveal existing structural systems of power, especially those that tend to perpetuate inequalities and injustices.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Call for Papers</strong></p>
<p>Following the success&nbsp;of conferences on Jewish thought in 2017 and 2018 the Department of Jewish Culture of Saint-Petersburg State University, in collaboration with the International Center for University Teaching of Jewish Civilization at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, will host a three-day conference &laquo;Basic Concepts and Categories of Jewish Thought:&nbsp;Sources and Contexts&raquo;.</p>
<p>The aim of the conference is to examinean essential issue of Jewish thought, meaningful throughout the entire history of Jewish philosophy - basic concepts and categories of Jewish thought, formation of the&nbsp;intellectual vocabulary and terminology of Jewish thought.&nbsp;The topic of the conference provides an overview of the broadest spectrum of Jewish philosophical teachings, both in chronological and spatial terms, in internal and external connections.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the 2019 conference we intend to address the question of the basic concepts and categories of Jewish thought and formation of the&nbsp;intellectual vocabulary of Jewish thought throughout its history. In our vision research on the intellectual vocabulary and categories of the Jewish thought is worth to be regarded as a core issue as it forms premise for the historical study of Jewish thought. Still until today there have been only few attempts to systematize the philosophical vocabularies of certain periods of Jewish thought.</p>
<p>Our conference is open to discussions on any trends and periods of the Jewish thought. We welcome contributions dealing with mysticism or rationalism, Halakha and Midrash, original philosophical works or the tradition of commentary. We intend also to treat the cultural and inter-cultural context of the Jewish thought. We plan to give special attention to comparisons of various frameworks of categories in the history of the Jewish thought and to explorations of their influence on conceptual frameworks of other intellectual traditions.</p>
<p>Conference sessions will be divided chronologically and thematically, and will include discussions on basic concepts, categories and formation of the&nbsp;intellectual vocabulary of the Jewish thought in early period (Biblical and Post-Biblical era), and in later periods (medieval Jewish philosophy, Kabbalah, Hasidism, early modern and contemporary Jewish Philosophy).</p>
<p>The conference will address the following topics:</p>
<p>1. Basic concepts, categories and the&nbsp;intellectual vocabulary of the Jewish thought in Biblical and Post-Biblical era.</p>
<p>2. Basic concepts, categories and the&nbsp;intellectual vocabulary of the Talmud and Midrash.</p>
<p>3. Basic concepts, categories and the&nbsp;intellectual vocabulary of the Medieval Jewish philosophy and mystical thought.</p>
<p>4. Basic concepts, categories and the&nbsp;intellectual vocabulary of the early modern and contemporary Jewish Philosophy.</p>
<p>5. Concepts, categories and the&nbsp;intellectual vocabulary of the Jewish thought in contrast with other intellectual traditions.</p>
<p>5. Concepts, categories and the&nbsp;intellectual vocabulary in individual works and schools of the Jewish thought, especially in Hermann Cohen, Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, Emmanuel Levinas and other contemporary Jewish philosophers. </p>
<p>The journal Judaica Petropolitana (judaica-petropolitana.philosophy.spbu.ru) may publish participants' papers extended to a standard article length.</p>
<p>Working languages: English, Hebrew, Russian.</p>

Venue: Rewley House, 1 Wellington Square<br /><br /><p>Why did evidence-based medicine arise, and why should you believe in it? What is the evidence that Evidence-Based Healthcare (EBHC) has done more good than harm? Why was EBHC born in 1992 (wasn&rsquo;t healthcare always &lsquo;evidence-based&rsquo;?) When can we trust experts? How can we prevent patient values and the doctor/patient relationship being buried beneath a mountain of evidence? What is the role of the placebo in EBHC? Following in the footsteps of eminent medical doctors who were also philosophers, including Galen, Descrates and Locke, this course provides a unique opportunity to question the assumptions behind the EBHC methodology. Teaching will be coordinated by experts in the field, Dr Jeremy Howick and Sir Iain Chalmers. Students will learn to make philosophical arguments and will engage with researchers who have played key roles in defining the History, Philosophy and actual practice of Evidence-Based Healthcare.<br><br><br></p>https://philevents.org/event/show/69222[ June 10, 2019] CFP for conference or similar: The Political Theology of American liberalism: New perspectives on Philosophy of History and Religion.https://philevents.org/event/show/70102

<p>The subject of American civil religion has been an important object of recent research. At present, there are several works that cover specific aspects, with a lot of detail, about the thought of related authors, philosophers, historians, pastors, and religious movements in the new world, since the time of the colonists, as well as their connection with their European background. However, the task does not seem to be exhausted in an overall vision, which would give a full sense of the phenomenon within the larger framework of a theory, or philosophy of history. A contribution in this direction could begin looking at the work of some of the great theorists of history, like Hegel, Voegelin, or others.</p>
<p>According to Hegel, the Christian principle that founds the sense of self-conscious freedom in the subject is catalyzed by the Reformation, which leads to the modern liberal state as its political and social expression. In more recent times, James Doull has argued that this Hegelian conception of the State as the realization of freedom does not have its most reliable example in Europe, but in America: in Canada and the United States. Could we affirm then&mdash;following Hegel&acute;s philosophy&mdash; that the fulfillment of the reformed spirit, in relation to the State, is not achieved in Europe, but only in the new world, and is consequently a process that is still in development? If so, is the solution that Hegel saw in the figure of the European State&mdash;as the authentic fulfillment of Western civilization&mdash;only the origin of the problem of order in America?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>The aim of the conference is to research for new understandings of the philosophy of history and religion, to update the approach of Hegel&mdash;or others&mdash; applied to the American Protestant societies. After Hegel, Voegelin elaborated a theory that contains deep intuitions, which could be articulated in a form which is complementary to Hegel&rsquo;s perspective. Voegelin&acute;s basic hypothesis is that the political <em>ethos </em>of a society is determined by the way its members experience the transcendent realm, or divinity. From this point, a series of questions can be articulated.</p>
<p>How are the terms of the theological disputes introduced by the reform movement during its first phase in Europe updated in the United States? What is the peculiar experience of the divine&mdash;or the transcendent&mdash; that takes place in America? In what way is the freedom of the self-conscious subject carried out in this phase? Is there any sense of historical continuity of the Reformation process itself, from its European to American stage, in relation to the formation of a <em>Political Corpus</em>, like the State? Or is it rather that the experience of the transcendent in America has created a completely new political <em>ethos</em>?</p>
<p>Other questions may also point to methodological problems. According to R.G. Collingwood, history is fundamentally history of thought. Must we reconsider then Hegel&acute;s philosophy of history from the prism of his history of philosophy? Has the development of philosophy in America something to tell us, about the philosophy of American history?</p>

<p>"God is Love." This wager concerning the nature of God - theological in the deepest sense - is generated, not from an idea, but from the experience of the encounter with Jesus Christ, the primordial "sacrament" of the Father.&nbsp; It entails not only a judgment concerning the nature of God himself but a judgment concerning the nature and meaning of reality and of our embodiment. This Love, of which reality is a sign as Jesus is the sign of the Father, is rightly qualified as semper maior, a fact always greater than our ideas and predeterminations. As such, the sign of love always breaks open our contractual logic. This year's summer school will be an attempt think within the horizon of this semper maior, to pose the question of the human as bound up with the Love that is God himself and the world which is the concrete sign of that Love.</p>
<p>For six years our summer school has facilitated a rich and friendly theological, philosophical and cultural dialogue in freedom, in the unique setting of Granada, a breathtakingly beautiful city that lies at the historic crossroads of modernity and the Christian tradition.</p>

Venue: Aleea Universității nr.1, Campus Corp A, Constanța, 900470<br /><br /><p>Living in a milieu where 'truth' is relegated to a commodity and the public approaches the official information media sources as a 'reality show,' conceptions of freedom tend to get blurry, inflated or distorted. When it comes to religious freedom, affective reasoning seems to be all the more preferred to a more objective, dialogical, or discursive reasoning. What are the presuppositions of our conceptualizations of freedom, including freedom in religions? How does the contemporary propensity of people towards affective reasoning, as opposed to fact-based critical reflection, mean for our current discourse on the roots, content, context, and implications of freedom? Religious and secular scholars will strive to find ways to speak meaningfully about freedom on the individual and social levels and in the context of both, the secular as well as religious communities.</p>https://philevents.org/event/show/70486[ July 9, 2019 - July 11, 2019] Conference or similar: Anselm of Canterbury: Nature, Order and the Divinehttps://philevents.org/event/show/68974

Venue: Manchester Hall<br /><br /><p>Philosophy, understood as the attempt to understand our world and our place in it, is not a uniquely western or European phenomenon, with longstanding and esteemed philosophical traditions in China, Japan, India, and the Muslim world, and sophisticated philosophies throughout Africa.</p>
<p>Yet ideas and figures from these traditions are absent from all but a tiny minority of western philosophy departments. Because of this, in recent years there have many calls for western Philosophy departments to diversify their curricula and introduce non-western thinkers and ideas into their courses.</p>
<p>The case for doing so is compelling but a practical problem remains: as most academics in such departments have been trained exclusively in the western philosophical tradition and are specialists in some aspect thereof, how might those who wish to include non-western ideas and voices in their courses best go about doing so in a non-tokenistic way? Which ideas and/or which thinkers from the many longstanding non-western philosophical traditions should western philosophers seek to include in their courses? And what context do they need to be able to teach these ideas and thinkers effectively?</p>
<p>The aim of this conference is to consider different answers to these questions.</p>https://philevents.org/event/show/65334[ August 5, 2019 - August 10, 2019] Conference or similar: 16th International Congress of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technologyhttps://philevents.org/event/show/64010

<p><strong><em>Current dynamics of our time</em></strong>&nbsp;<strong><em>highlights a renewed philosophical interpretation of the phenomenon of revolution in its most diverse dimensions &ndash; social, cultural, scientific, technological, and anthropological.

A revolution might be contrasted to an evolution as an opposing model of changes in science, culture, and society. A choice between them or a comprehended rejection of this alternative facilitates both elucidating the current state of social existence and delineating</em></strong>&nbsp;<strong><em>further ways of its development.</em></strong></p>
